Reliable Cat Care for Peace of Mind
I’ve been around cats since I was a teenager when I got my first one for my 13th birthday, and I’ve had cats in my life ever since. Over the years I’ve also looked after family and neighbours’ cats, including kittens, anxious cats, and cats with specific diets, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I’m DBS checked, have a full driving licence, and I’d describe myself as reliable, organised, and someone who naturally goes the extra mile. I follow instructions properly but I’m also sensible enough to adapt when needed, always putting the cat’s comfort first. If a cat is shy or hiding, I won’t force anything — I’ll give them space, let them get used to me, and let things happen in their own time. If they’re not eating properly, I’ll keep an eye, try gentle things, and always keep the owner updated. I genuinely love cats, and I care about making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and looked after while their owners are away :)

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure doors and windows are locked properly before I leave and I double-check everything so the home is secure. I’m respectful of people’s homes and will always follow any instructions given! If I notice anything not quite right with a cat, I’ll let the owner know straight away. I’ll stay with the cat, keep an eye on them, and if I’m still concerned I’ll contact their vet. In an emergency or if the vet is closed, I would take them to the nearest vet and keep the owner updated the whole time. I would never take a cat out of their home unless it was an emergency or I was asked to. I keep communication flexible depending on what the owner wants — some people like regular updates, photos and videos, others prefer fewer messages so they can relax, and I’m happy to adapt. I also respond pretty quickly so owners aren’t left worrying. My own cat is quite anxious and not used to other cats, so I really understand how important it is for cats to stay in their familiar environment and feel settled. Overall, my priority is always making sure each cat feels safe, calm, and well looked after in their own home.

Schedule
My routine is pretty consistent, which means I can offer reliable care that fits around your cat’s needs. I work an NHS 9–5 role and work from home twice a week, so I have flexibility during the day on those days, and I’m usually home in the evenings with my husband and our own cat, Autumn. I offer 1–2 visits a day depending on what’s needed, and I’m flexible with timing, especially in the evenings. Visits are usually around 10–20 minutes, but I always adjust depending on the cat and what the owner prefers — some cats just want a quick check-in, while others are happier with a bit of company, fuss, or play. I take my lead from the cat and what they’re comfortable with!
